3.3 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS

Stream quality, especially with smooth bore nozzles, is generally improved with the use of a stream straightener.

3.4 USE WITH FOAM

The Blitzfire may be used with various foam nozzles and foam solutions. Refer to fire service training for the proper
use of foam.

3.5 USE WITH SALT WATER

Use with salt water is permissible provided the monitor is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water after each use. The
service life of the monitor may be shortened due to the effects of corrosion and is not covered under warranty.
